If you are jokeing and referring to the fairytale then I get it.

Otherwise: no it's not a tinderbox. I work in construction as a carpenter and we encounter this building method and the fire argument sometimes. Fire needs fuel and an oxidant. No oxygen after the little that is in there and the worst thing is a slow glim and even that won't happen. The walls covering this straw are made from f30 material that can withstand fire, you guessed it, for 30 minutes. So no flash fires In seconds.

Another example is blow in inaulwyion insulation smartasses made from cellulose recycling. News paper. It has been used for at least two decades in Germany and is never thr cause for a fire.

Or i'll roast you whole.

I loved the Green Jelly version

That was ever since the first wolf incident, but it seems history is doomed to repeat itself.

Signed - Mold and fire

Straw has been used as a building material in England for maybe a thousand years. It used to be mainly used in roofing - thatching was a trade for a very long time, and you still see thatched houses in the countryside. Obviously it needs maintenance, and occasionally you'll hear of a thatcher finding something ancient hidden away for centuries in the thatch.

Can't say I understand how it works, but it's a very effective means of building.

Don't forget spontaneous mice

Be a kid: scared of house burning down.

Be an old homeowner: scared of water, and house burning down would save me a lot of work, lol.

Warum hast du ne Maske auf?

Well, just don't eat the house!

The straw bales are a dense and almost structural. They also grow in the ground and require little in terms of manufacture cost and processing. Blown fiberglass is literally the opposite

nothing, except when you want to move a wall or drill an opening into it and suddenly you're fucked with a toxic inhaled material in the air

Even the Big Bad Wolf can't cope with British NIMBYism.

He'll huff and he'll puff all he likes but nothing will stop Bernard and Mildred, 78 from organising the blocking of any building or demolition work within a dozen miles of the house they bought for £500 and half a pack of cigarettes in 1965.

At least it's cellulose rather than the mineral and plastic dusts from working with conventional building materials. Human bodies have pretty much zero ability to break down the latter.
